10 and 11 are huge ones for me. I only feel comfortable if I know that the staff have been vetted, and if they are empathetic with the kids. I also ask to meet everyone involved in the organization, & to observe part of a typical day in the facility to get a sense of things, not only how the staff interacts with the kids, but how comfortable the kids seem to be there, and with each other.
